Statistics and Data Sciences      Archival page 2002

The Statistics and Data Sciences group conducts research in the analysis and exploration of data, the collection and organization of data, and decisions based on data. Our work is relevant from the design phase of an experiment or study to the final phase of analysis and interpretation. Our collaborations with other scientists cut across many areas, including the physical sciences, computational sciences, environmental sciences, biological sciences, epidemiology, engineering, and chemistry.
